stp please read

as I understand for the first 5 calendar years of F1, one should use 1040NR and can claim $5000 treaty benefit, but not standard deduction (can itemize, though). From the sixth year and on, one should use 1040 and can claim both treaty $5000 and std deduction.

but in your previous post:

"03年是RA, 按居民报税, 可以申请$5000.00 TREATY, 但申请了这$5000.00 TREATY 你就不能用STANDARD DEDUCTION, 你根据你的情况看要哪个--TREATY OR STD DEDUCTION. 如果99年(OR以后)持F1 VISA来, 02年你是NRA, 用1040NR OR 1040NR-EZ, 附表8843. READ PUB 519 AND 970."

please clarify.
